History of AIP: Locations

Early days

Originally located entirely in New York City, AIP moved most of its publishing operations to Woodbury, Long Island, NY in 1979. Beginning in the 1980s the Institute transferred some of its education and public information operations to the Washington, DC area to be closer to the Federal government as well as the Member Societies in the DC area.

Publishing and some other AIP services continued to be centered in Long Island, relocating in 1998 from Woodbury to Melville.
